* William Conte, 39, was caught on video shoving a 12-year-old boy to the ground
* The boy, Alex Anderson, said Conte's wife was following him and his friend
* Anderson is seen in the video calling the woman a 'low life' while his friend calls her a 'pedophile' and asks if she like 'taking pictures of little children'
* Conte, a father-of-two, was charged with criminal mischief and harassment
* Residents have stuck up for Conte and one neighbor said the kids were trying to throw a dead snake into his wife's car
A Long Island man was arrested for shoving a 12-year-old boy to the ground after he caught the child recording his wife on a cellphone.
Anderson then calls the woman a 'low life' seconds before a man charges at him shoving the boy to the ground. The man curses and smashes Anderson's cellphone on the ground as the boy yells for help.
Anderson's father, Christian, called Conte a 'coward' but residents in the area are sticking up for him.
According to neighbor Michael Shain, who lives across the street from where the incident happened, the kids were allegedly trying to throw a dead snake into the woman's car with her two kids inside.
'There's video of these kids running around with their bikes, stopping cars, getting in front of cars where they almost basically force you to hit them,' he said. 'These kid are not innocent by any means. They started it, and unfortunately, the father went to protect his wife and two small kids.'
Christian, however, says there is never a reason for an adult to put their hands on a child.
'Even if they throw a rock at the car, it doesn't justify beating up a child. It just doesn't,' he said.

So, you were there and know what the little shiite was up to just before?
Perhaps we should let people discipline their own children and not end up facing criminal charges be shoving kids to the ground.
Not only is Conte facing criminal charges, but he can expect to be sued.
Perhaps he KNOWS FOR A FACT that throwing rocks at cars is something the kid already does and assumed someone finally objected to the little miscreant's behavior?
The dad's statement speaks volumes...
“So, you were there and know what the little shiite was up to just before?”
I don’t think any of us were there, but we all know who is facing criminal charges and a lawsuit.
It does not appear anyone threw rocks.
It does appear that Conte was arrested.
It appears to me that little Alex may have learned an important lesson. Shoving the kid to the ground may rethink the value of being an asshole.
You are the one condemning the father without a clue what might have provoked him. I cannot stand that judgemental crap.
Clueless .
The brat threw a snake at his wife .
Read what the brat did .
Yes. That would be better, but clearly his male genetic unit is not up to the task, no matter what the kid does.
What sort of future do you see for a child who is allowed to get away with everything?
BEST case is he rapes and murders someone while still a juvenile, and is out when he turns 21 with his records sealed.
Little Alex just had had his college tuition paid for by Mr. Conte.
Yup.
Happy?
A takes a Real Man to shove a 12 year old child.
I suspect William Conte will experience similar actions when in the lock-up.
*****************************************************************
I wish such “children” as these two on YOUR neighborhood. The “child” narrator’s voice set off my gaydar big time. I suspect that if there’s anyone in that neighborhood “diddling little kids”, it’s him.
Wrong.
Should not be any crimes for adults dealing with minor thugs/crybullies.
Not dealng with these kids quickly trains them to be crybully assholes the rest of their lives.
These are kids that need the crap beaten put of them because civilized society isnt going to put up with their uncivil behavior, they need to learn this kind of stuff will get them take care of until it sinks in you arent going to get away treating people like this.
both his parents are worthless scum for raising and defeding such a monster.
He’s facing charges and a lawsuit because it took place in Long Island, that likely wouldn’t be the case in a sane part of the country.
“BEST case is he rapes and murders someone while still a juvenile, and is out when he turns 21 with his records sealed.”
I have never seem “Best Case” and “rapes and murders someone” in the same sentence.
Dont waste your breath responding to her.
I doubt it. After a jury hearing the testimony from the neighbors and past behavior of the little shit, he won’t get a dime. Mr. Conte’s wife has a just a good a claim against the little brat, too.
I don’t care how old one is, behave.
That idiot Hogg is young, yet I would love to shove him to the ground.
“He’s facing charges and a lawsuit because it took place in Long Island, that likely wouldn’t be the case in a sane part of the country.”
Perhaps there are jurisdictions where an adult male can shove someone’s else’s 12 year old child, but this incident occurred in New York State and that state’s criminal and civil procedures apply.
